Only use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven.
Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or
arcing and may damage your oven. Do not use the rack when sensor
cooking.
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat
pieces). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. See page 6.
This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your
oven.
This is the sound the transformer makes when the magnetron tube
cycles on and off.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish.
Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
Dish also may not be microwave safe. See page 6.
Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and
covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the
cooking to finish, saves energy, and frees the oven for other pur-
poses.
In some dishes, the food temperature will coutinue to rise during
this time.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s
guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. See page 15.
Do not use regular paper bags with unpopped corn - - use only pre-
packaged, Microwavable Popcorn. Use the listening test by stopping
the oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two
seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use
special microwave poppers: When using a popper, be sure to follow
manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the
top vent.
